On account of COVID-19 several modifications have been made on a temporary basis to accommodate program requirements for au pairs.

Education requirement: 72 hours of learning documented/6 credits/7.2 CEUs (continuing education units)

The Department of State has relaxed the “in-person” learning requirement – which opens up a range of possibilities.  This is a temporary exception.  The class must begin by May 30^th and the certificate needs to come from an approved school. *Please check with your Community Counselor if you have any questions and to confirm course approval
